Yahoo Inc. is shutting down Yahoo Photos, its first-generation photo storage site, and asking users to move instead to Yahoo’s Web 2.0 photo sharing site, Flickr, a Yahoo official said on Thursday.

In June, tens of millions of registered users of Yahoo Photos will be notified of various options including upgrading to Yahoo’s Flickr service or various outside-photo storage sites, according to Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield.

Yahoo also will offer consumers the option of loading their photos on competing sites when users are notified next month.

High-flying startup StumbleUpon has been rumored to be in acquisition discussions since at least last November. Recently we’ve heard that talks have heated up again, with Google, AOL and eBay as potential suitors. A source with knowledge of the deal now says the company has signed a term sheet with eBay to be acquired. The price is somewhere between $40 – $45 million.

StumbleUpon lets users rate websites via a browser toolbar. At any time a user can click “Stumble!” and will be taken to a website highly rated by other StumbleUpon users who tend to vote in a similar way as the person “stumbling.” More often than not, it’s something almost serendipitously interesting to the reader. The company expanded into video referrals in late 2006. (more…)

Zattoo is a program that enables you to watch live television on your computer. Some of the channels currently available are ARD, arte, BBC Prime, BBC World, Bloomberg TV, Canale 5, CNN, EuroNews and EuroSport, to name but a few. (Also many non-English speaking channels).

The bad news is that, currently, Zattoo will only work in Switzerland, the good news is they say they plan to go worldwide with it “soon”.

This looks like it could be a good service, as they say that it’s better than the usual internet video quality. They say it’s equal to TV quality. It remains to be seen if they can keep their promise, as my country isn’t currently served. But i was able to add my email to their mailing list so i can be notified when (if!) it is.

But it seems like one to watch, no pun intended! Check it out here.
